SMP and PLP Showcase New Products at BICSI Orlando
SMP Data Communications, a leading developer and manufacturer of high-speed cross-connect products for communication networks, will be launching several new products at the BICSI Winter Conference, January 22-25 in Orlando, Florida. . Included in this launch will be SMP's Limited Axcess™ product line, Dual Axcess™ residential solution, a "spider" zone distribution bracket ideal for the data center market and a new NEMA Type 3 complaint fiber box for smaller OSP applications.
SMP's new Limited Axcess product line does exactly what the name implies, limits the access to your network. Limited Axcess technology provides an enhanced layer of network security to isolate access to different networks within the same facility, and to protect network infrastructure in public access areas. This is done by incorporating two layers of keying, one in the jack/plug connection and the other with color-coded keyed bezels and patch cord boots. The Limited Axcess patent pending technology provides enhanced system performance exceeding proposed Category 6a requirements.
SMP's new Dual Axcess™ System is on the leading edge of residential structured wiring solutions. The Dual Axcess System features an innovative design allowing individual cable runs to be selected as either a full gigabit channel or a hybrid 10/100 and voice solution. This unique approach saves installers time and money by reducing required cable runs by 50%, while at the same time keeping the home owner a step ahead of evolving technologies by incorporating a selectable configuration. The Dual Axcess System offers installers a complete residential system that is fully testable as a Category 5e TIA compliant channel using standard field test equipment and an easily upgradeable solution for future home owner needs. "This solution offers an effective schematic for residential installers looking for guaranteed performance and easier system integration" explained Steve Funderud, Product Manager for the Dual Axcess System.
SMP's new "spider" zone distribution cable tray mounting solutions provide a convenient means to access copper or fiber network cross connect points, and are ideal for data center applications. Utilizing a unique snap fit leg design, the bracket mounts easily on top of any 12" to 18" cable tray and allows for additional cables to be installed without disruption of zone connection or other cables, by simply pivoting the bracket out of the way. These modules reduce cabling and installation costs by reducing the number of cables and congestion in the cable tray, allowing a single multi-conductor cable to the distribution point... SMP's "spider" zone distribution solutions can accept either SMP 6 pack fiber adapter plates or MT fiber cassette modules, or Plug-and-Play gigabit copper modules, depending on the application.
Lastly, SMP's new NEMA Type 3 compliant enclosure is an ideal solution for smaller OSP and small inside premise applications. The OCO6N provides a mounting bracket to accept any of the SMP adapter plates for 6 up to 24 ports. The unit comes standard with a tamper resistant fastening system and if additional security is required the enclosure can accept a customer-supplied padlock.
"The overwhelming positive response to the launch of these new products has verified that our eyes and ears in the marketplace are very much in touch with customer needs and confirms SMP as a true pioneer in the industry" stated Brad Everette, Marketing Manager for SMP Data Communications. SMP will be showcasing all of these products at the upcoming BICSI Winter Conference in Orlando, where all will be available for preview and demonstration at the SMP/PLP booth # 300.
